We loved everything about this tour! It was our first cycle touring adventure, and what a fantastic introduction. We loved the Balkan countries we traveled through, each one fascinating, unique, friendly, and with spectacular scenery. We were so.lucky to have an enthusiastic, personable and kind group of fellow cyclists. Most important though was the support and company of Julian, our amazing tour leader, and Arsen, our kind, helpful and ever- smiling support person. Julian is a magician, juggling so many organizational tasks, supporting our group of riders with diverse riding skills, good- naturedly negotiating with the restaurateurs and hotelliers we met along the way. Julian and Arsen were a fun, helpful and kind team, and together they made our tour the special experience it was! Thank you to both, and to Balkan Express. We strongly recommend this tour

4 1/2 stars. This was a great trip. There was so much to see and experience, from the countryside to the mountains and the coast. You get a great idea of the different areas within the country.- the rural countryside where you might see workers in the fields and donkeys and carts on the roads, to the more developed urban areas. Food was fresh and varied and you don't go hungry, that's for sure. Accommodation ranged from modern hotels to small guesthouses run by local families - there was a lot to see and experience. Our hardworking guide Dimitri kept our group of 23 organized and moving along and did it with a smile and great humour. In addition he took us on guided tours of Gjirokaster and Butrint. Our support van driver and bike tech Elvis did a great job of maintaining the bikes and keeping the batteries charged and ready to go. He was always available to lend a hand. Dimitri and Elvis were a great team and both ensured that everyone was well taken care of - they made a great team. I would definitely recommend this trip.

I loved biking through Albania on the UNESCO tour. Scenery was spectacular. The route was challenging year doable with the help of a e-bike. Mateo and Tani were the best guides /support team. My only request would be to have more variation with the meals. Lots of repetition when it came to the food, but it was all delicious! Thank you

It was a terrific tour at a very affordable price. Our guide was knowledgable and fun. The routes, food, accommodations and sites along the way were terrific!

Good trip overall but have some things I’d like to share directly with owners.
